Play memory

Memory is designed to improve your little one's short-term memory and concentration while also teaching them the rules of turn-taking.

What you need:

Pairs of cards such as playing cards, business cards, paint sample cards, sight words or even design your own cards using thick cardboard or photos

Method:

Shuffle the cards and place them in two symmetrical columns, face down. Continue until you have several rows of two cards in each column.

Take it in turns to flip the cards over, two cards at a time.

The idea is to spot a matching pair of cards. If you don't spot a pair when you flip the cards over, turn them back over and try to remember where the cards were in case you find it’s pair later on in the game.

As a pair of matching cards is found the person who revealed the pair gets to keep the cards and has another turn.

Once all the cards have been taken the person with the most cards wins.
